I don't think a target with no dependencies or rules is useless. It can
be useful to not have an error when this target is triggered.

When you are going to do a 'make source', it will do a 'make
$(1)-source' on all packages, including the ones that have
<pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR. So there must be a $(1)-source target, even if
it doesn't do anything.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Thomas
